Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in Austin, TX

"In the Fall of 2020, my husband and I decided to remodel our run down 1978 home. We were spending more time at home due to Covid, and we were ready to finally make our home into a peaceful sanctuary for our family. After living here for almost 20 years, our “To Do” list had grown rather long. We needed windows, siding, bathrooms (no longer set in the 70’s), and more room in our 1500 sq ft dwelling. We excitedly met with an architect to see how we could extend our house and add more windows and natural light in the process. We had the plans and were ready to start construction. Then, the general contractor we had chosen ghosted us. Knowing that this was going to be a big job that would require a very large chunk of change, we knew we needed to make an informed decision. We already had trust issues after having chosen a contractor recommended by a friend who flaked out on us. So, it’s a big deal to make a decision about who is going to redo your home into a place that you will love and enjoy, stay on time, on budget and use our money wisely. This was our first major home project and we planned to meet with several contractors to find out how the process would work and how they could stay within our budget. We looked on Yelp first and searched for someone in our general location, (we love to support our local businesses). The first listing was Alter Construction. The reviews mentioned “responsive”,” great communication'', “trustworthy'', “best materials”, “great craftsmanship,” all the things that you’d want in a general contractor. I checked out their website and really liked what I saw, so I filled out the form and got an immediate response to set up a phone call the next day. After speaking to Eli for the first time, I got a warm and friendly vibe. We set up a meeting at our home to discuss the project and when Eli and Cynthia came over we talked about what we wanted to accomplish and let them know that this remodel would totally change our quality of life going forward. They showed us some photos of their previous jobs and their qualifications were obvious, all of the projects were amazing. The happy client testimonials spoke to Eli and Cynthia’s character and genuine desire to help us reach the quality of life we had longed for for many, many years. Needless to say, we never met with any other contractors, our minds were made up during that first meeting to work with Eli and Cynthia at Alter Construction. We went back and forth via email about what we needed and at our next meeting, we went over the scope of work, timeline, total cost of the project and the payment scheduled. We gave them a check as a deposit, but Eli let us know that until the City’s permits were in hand, no money would be deposited. Once the permitting process was complete, work went fast. We completely moved out and 5 months later, we were back in a BRAND NEW HOME! We did have a bit of a delay during the project waiting on the City inspectors, but the communication between us and Alter was constant. We felt very comfortable calling or texting and Eli was always available and he treated our home with special love and care as if it were his own. Eli is a perfectionist and is always the first to notice if any little thing is off and is quick to reply with, “I’ll fix it!” or “I’m on it!” and he is! The end result is stunning, we have so much more space, our bathrooms are gorgeous, the exterior is perfect and EVERYTHING inside and out is new and improved! We really formed a nice friendship with Eli and Cynthia and miss not talking to them as regularly as before. They are amazing, honest and trustworthy people who really care about you and want the best for you.They are more than happy to help your remodeling dreams come true."

"Went great, came inside with a great attitude. Had all the necessary tools and even had a vacuum when the granite needed to be cut to prevent a mess. He cleaned as he kept working in between. The sink looks beautiful and he double checked for leaks and paid attention to detail. I highly recommend him any home jobs and I am definitely giving him another call with another project."

"We hired Superior General Contracting company for our kitchen project, and we would highly recommend them. This is the second time we?ve worked with them because they are so reliable and consistent. They were there for us from start to finish. Skyler stayed on top of everything throughout the kitchen renovation and supervised the work closely. Skyler and Flynt maintained constant communication with us, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They made what could have been a difficult project feel easy and well-managed. Also Their crew did an amazing job. Definitely, this is a company that I would highly recommend to anyone needing a home project done?no matter how big or small."

"Austin best handyman was successful in working me into their busy schedule. They appeared on time and completed the job in time. I would highly recommend them for any job around the house. I have a few projects and plan on hiring them again."

"We hired sonart a Construction for a bathroom addition! Their staff was more than helpful and their crew was beyond experienced! They were actually able to finish this project a lot quicker than expected. Definitely gave me a piece of mine that I didnâ t have to worry about where the crew was are getting in contact with the office. I have dealt with some pretty sketchy construction companies and contractors in the past grateful that this wasnâ t the case here!"

"I enjoyed working with Beau. He understood exactly what I wanted done. He make a few suggestions which kept me from making some major mistakes (like locking in my fridge if I extended the island). Beau communicated with me regularly through the whole process.. The different teams did I great job. Again, they worked closely with me to be sure the outcome would match my vision. I love my house. I would not change one thing that was done.. My home has 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, formal living and dining, family room, breakfast room, laundry room, and kitchen (3000 sq ft). It took a total of 10 weeks to be the job completed due to the carpet selected being on back order. My only complain was the wholesaler used. Not all the items I selected was not ordered and the quantities were not correct on a few things. This lead to the delay in completion of the project. This was not on Beau."

"Our remodel with Patriot Construction went exceptionally well. Paul and his crew are excellent at what they do and we continue to use them as projects come up. This was our third remodel and the best one by far. Paul is honest, fair, punctual and has a great and talented crew. Finding a good contractor can be a long and frustrating process. After our first several meetings with Paul, we knew he was the right fit. He had great ideas for our remodel, was priced fairly and was very straightforward and honest in what was/wasn’t possible with our budget. He’s very communicative which really helps minimize any surprises or misunderstandings. The work he and his crew did was/is top notch and we love our new house. We will continue using and recommending Patriot Construction as long as we live in the Austin area. Thanks for the great work!!"

"Great. Scott is knowledgeable, dependable and communicative. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know looking for a contractor."

"I am so grateful for Terry and T5T Contracting. From the moment I met Terry, I knew he was the real deal—down-to-earth, honest, and extremely knowledgeable. His family has been in the business for years, and it’s clear he understands what homeowners need during a renovation. Terry is prompt and timely in his communications, and he showed incredible patience and kindness throughout the process. Living in a home during a renovation is not for the faint of heart, and inevitably, challenges come up. What stood out to me is how Terry always addressed concerns quickly and thoroughly, correcting any issues with professionalism and care. The subcontractors that T5T works with are also excellent. Every single person who came into my home arrived on time, was fully prepared, respectful of my home, and delivered truly outstanding work. That level of consistency gave me so much peace of mind during what could have been a stressful process."

"I recently hired LFM Remodeling to update the small master bathroom in my condo, and I’m so glad I did! They replaced an oversized tub and completely transformed the space into something clean, modern, and spa-like. Stav and his team were professional, responsive, and respectful of my home. They kept things tidy, finished on time, stayed within budget, and handled a few small hiccups without missing a beat. The tilework is beautiful, the fixtures look amazing, and the whole space feels calm and refreshed. I highly recommend LFM Remodeling — I’d definitely hire them again!"
